SÃO PAULO, Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teads (NASDAQ:TEAD), the omnichannel outcomes platform for the Open Internet, today announced the appointment of Fernando Tassinari as Managing Director of LATAM, effective immediately.
This strategic leadership addition reinforces Teads' commitment to accelerating growth across key Latin American markets, expanding its branding and performance business, and strengthening its position as one of the world's leading digital advertising platforms.
With more than two decades of international leadership experience in marketing and digital advertising, Tassinari has built an impressive career at global companies including Taboola, Criteo, Turn, MRM Worldwide (McCann Worldgroup) and Razorfish (Publicis Group). Throughout his career, he has led multicultural, high-performing teams across Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Israel, Europe, APAC, and the United States, recognized for his ability to drive sustainable growth while building long-term partnerships with top agencies and advertisers.
In his new role, Tassinari will be responsible for leading Teads' overall strategy in Latin America, consolidating its market position and accelerating the growth of its performance business - a key pillar in the company's next stage of global evolution. His leadership will combine a results-driven strategic vision with a deep understanding of the diverse cultural and business dynamics across the region.
"Fernando's appointment represents an important milestone for Teads as we enter a new chapter of growth in Latin America," said David Kostman, CEO at Teads. "His proven leadership, international experience, and strong business acumen are exactly what we need to strengthen our footprint across LATAM and continue delivering measurable value for our clients in an increasingly complex digital landscape."
Mayra Contreras, SVP of LATAM at Teads, will continue to lead Teads' Mexico and Miami operations, reinforcing the company's presence in two of the region's most strategic and dynamic markets, while maintaining her focus on building strong client and agency partnerships.
Tassinari's leadership will focus on three core priorities: strengthening Teads LATAM's internal culture, driving innovation in business development, and expanding growth opportunities for local teams. Known for his collaborative and people-first approach, he believes that long-term success is rooted in trust, creativity, and authentic human connection.
"I firmly believe that growth is not only about metrics or financial performance — it's about the human connections that inspire teams to reach their full potential," said Tassinari. "I'm truly excited to join Teads at such a pivotal time for our industry and to work alongside an exceptional team to build a stronger, more innovative, and more connected LATAM region."
Tassinari's appointment underscores Teads' commitment to talent, innovation, and local leadership — key pillars driving the company's global expansion. Under his guidance, LATAM is expected to play an increasingly strategic role in Teads' worldwide growth, strengthening both its commercial offering and its value proposition for advertisers, agencies, and publishers.
